Our vision is bold: safety never sleeps, and neither should your systems.
Role Overview

This role is perfect for someone already in the EHS software industry who understands the workflows, the buyers, the current tech landscape, and the pain points of safety professionals.

- Domain fluency: Understanding of incident management, root cause analysis, corrective action tracking, and the daily reality of EHS teams.
- Sales tech fluency: Familiarity with HubSpot, CRM platforms, and Apollo.io; experience leveraging these tools to manage pipeline and drive outbound is a strong plus.
- Autonomous operator: Proven ability to work independently with minimal direction, taking full ownership of priorities, execution, and outcomes.
- Builder mentality: Comfortable designing and scaling a sales function from scratch, including processes, tooling, and early GTM experimentation.
- Hunter mindset: Comfortable with outbound prospecting, creative outreach, and persistence.
- Strong communicator: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build rapport with executives and frontline teams alike.
- Entrepreneurial drive: Thrives in an early-stage environment, excited to shape GTM motion from the ground up.
- U.S.-based with ability to travel for customer meetings and conferences as needed.
Why Join Haven
- Be one of the first GTM hires at a fast-growing AI startup redefining safety.
- Work alongside founders, product leaders, and advisors from the world’s top AI and safety organizations.
- Competitive compensation package (base + commission + equity).
